User:Paulmrussell12/Postmodern vertigo

Postmodern Vertigo is a description of a panic that occurs when somebody considers the reality of their own existence but no longer accepts truth or structure in their thought. Suddenly the thinker no longer believes in anything, everything seeming like a fabrication. Thought become meaningless and a feeling akin to vertigo is experienced. Many writers have described this feeling as "the void" or as a "crisis of postmodernism". Where as a crisis of postmodernism describes the thought or meaning of viewing existence as a false construct and the void creates a metaphoric representation, Postmodern Vertigo more specifically has been used to refer to this feeling when it takes on a physiological manifestation, causing an increase in heart rate and sweating. The term has been used or the concepts discussed in the following books- "Panic Encyclopaedia" Arthur and Marilouise Kroker or some of their other works and "Death at the Parasite Cafe" Stephen Pfoh.
